Everyone grows up watching football on Thanksgiving, and we finally get to partake in the party. We were riding high coming off a HUGE win against the bears, and a great comeback win against a sub-par Jags team. Detroit came into the season with lofty expectations coming off their first playoff game in a while last year. BUT they've been less than stellar with head coach Jim Schwartz getting most of the blame. Detroit lost a heart breaker to Green bay today, but this is a big game for both teams even being a out of conference game. We're trying to lock up the AFC South with the resurgence of the Luck led Colts and the Lions are hanging on to their fading playoffs hopes.

Joseph is getting a MRI on his hamstring, I'd say its a 80% chance he deosn't play. Kareem on Calvin. Help me.

Aside from the fact he is having the MRI do you hae any knowledge about the severity?

Because I don't think you can just pull numbers out of your rear like that.

He has been struggling with a hamstring throughout the season before the bye. 2 He didn't play basically the whole second half, so I don't see how we risk such a tricky injury for one game that is four days away. Thats how I pulled it our of my rear_________________

Ya I mean yes he got hurt, but it was at the end of the game. I personally only saw Ball in on that one play, but it was probably more than that. Will know how serious it is tomorrow at Kubs presser._________________

I am very worried about Calvin Johnson. Stafford hasn't had the best of years this season, but Calvin has had a very good past 3 games and no doubt Stafford will go to him early and often. Hopefully we apply pressure to him like the Packers did today. They had 5 sacks on Stafford. Hopefully Joseph is OK because we need him for Calvin. Our offensive line vs their defensive line is something I will definitely be following._________________

I only saw him out the last series
It was a groin before. Not a hamstring
Against a team like the Lions with Calvin that is when we would risk it. Especially with an extended off period before the next game.

You have no idea the severity so assigning a percentage to how likely is to play seems absurd._________________

Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite holiday. It's like Christmas, except you replace going to church with family with sitting at home watching football with family. And it always hovers around my birthday, so even better, and this year with the Texans and Texas playing on Thanksgiving.....

This one should be interesting, coming off a short week with some guys banged up. I really fear we are riding Foster too hard. He's still notching 25ish carries a game and his ypc is plummeting and he absolutely took a beating against the Jags/Bears. The right side of the line is still a huge liability._________________"You may all go to Hell, and I will go to Texas."

Smart things would be to sit JJoe this week and give him the full 2 weeks of rest before our next game against the Titans....might even decide to sit him against the titans to have him well ready to go against the Patriots....that game will determine home field in the playoffs

If im Wade Phillips im putting jackson and Manning on Megatron the entire game, id take my chances with stopping the run without saftey support

I wish the Lions had won yesterday, they are desperate and a loss to us almost knocks them out, so they are going to bring it

this will be a tough turn around game for us_________________
^S/o to El Ramster for the amazing sig

Gah...like a turkey on Thanksgiving day, this Texans team is. Dead in the water, might as well throw some cajun seasoning on 'em and deep fry 'em before the coin toss. After yesterday's brutal, physical game against a team out for blood...we have to go to Detroit and play them on THEIR day, in front of THEIR fans?

This one gets ugly before halftime.

38-10, Detroit. This is a romp, Stafford and Megatron have 3 TDs, Leshoure has two TDs, Texans secondary is lit up again and the offense simply doesn't have the juice to pull off another win like they did yesterday._________________

This is a tough game for the Texans like many have said. Especially going against CJ. I expect the Texans to double team him but if so, I think Titus Young will have a big game across the middle. It will be a battle but the Lions will have too much strength on the offensive line and the defensive line. I think the Texans lose the battle in the trenches. If the game was at home, I'd give the edge to the Texans but going to Detroit and playing the longest, toughest game of the season on Sunday is a lot to handle. Detroit has a solid team._________________
